Dick Morris - Political Insider
Probably the most prominent American political consultant, Dick Morris is credited almost universally with piloting Bill Clinton to a stunning comeback re-election victory in 1996 after the president lost Congress to the Republicans two years before.

Called "the most influential private citizen in America" by Time magazine, Morris also has handled the winning campaigns for more than 30 senators or governors.

Morris makes more than 400 appearances each year and is well known for hard-hitting, nonpartisan commentary about the U.S. political scene. He writes a weekly column for the New York Post and the Hill Magazine in the United States and the National Post in Canada.

In November 1999, Morris founded a Web site called Vote.com where people may log on to vote on the major issues of the day. Their opinions are e-mailed to their senators and members of Congress and to other significant decision makers Vote.com is rated by Media Metrics and PC Data as one of the most trafficked Web sites in the world.

Morris has written many books, including his 1997 best-selling memoir of the Clinton administration, "Behind the Oval Office, Winning the Presidency in the Nineties." His latest is "Power Grab: Obama's Dangerous Plan foe a One Party Nation."

In 1999, he wrote a guide to modern politics called "The New Prince: Machiavelli Updated for the 21st Century." His book "Power Plays" sketches the careers of 20 of history's leading figures and the strategies they used to gain political power.

Other best-sellers to his credit include “Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies That Help Iran, and Washington Lobbyists for Foreign Governments Are Scamming Us . . . and What to Do About It,” and his latest, "Catastrophe: How Obama, Congress, and the Special Interests Are Transforming a Slump into a Crash, Freedom Into Socialism, and a Disaster into a Catastrophe . . . and How to Fight Back."

Morris lives in Connecticut and in New York City with his wife of 23 years, Eileen McGann, his frequent co-author.

Trump Surges Among Millennials

Trump Surges Among Millennials

The Democratic Party is held aloft by support from four basic demographics: Hispanics, Blacks, Millennials, and single college educated white women.

In 2024, Hispanics deserted the ship in droves, as a result Trump carried 46% of their vote.

The gender gap also closed among Black men where Trump gained 10 points.

Now, it's the Millennials turn to move toward Trump. A YouGov/Economist survey on May 9-12, 2025 (1700 interviews) shows a 10 point improvement in his favorability between April and May.

The president’s favorable score rose from 38% in April to 48% on May 12.

The Washington Examiner noted that the "surge marked the biggest one-month increase for any demographic surveyed in the poll, and it comes as millennials represent the largest bloc of the electorate.

Millennials (aged 30-44) have had a storied history. While their younger peers, Gen Z voters (under 30) moved to embrace Trump before the 2024 election, Millennials held back and voted for Harris by 51-45.

Undoubtedly influenced by the electoral history of their younger years, when Millennials largely backed Democrats, the age group was reluctant to move to Trump.

But that's changing now.

The Washington Examiner also noted that "Democrats struggle to capture the support of millennials, whose support for the Left has drastically declined in recent years.

The Examiner quoted pollster Jeremy Zogby whose research "captured the rupture."

Zogby noted that "the coalition of millennials now entering their 30s and 40s who easily pushed former President Barack Obama into two terms have flipped to Trump."

Zogby wrote that, "The president scores high among parents raising children — a voting bloc that largely corresponds with millennials who have now entered their 30s and 40s — the same group who helped carry President Obama’s victory in 2008.

"That amounts to a generational flip since the president’s first term when those older than 65 were a major source of Trump’s support," added Zogby.

He attributes much of Trump’s gains among Millennials to a "change in how Americans are finding and consuming news. Those who have stuck with old media such as TV news and print lean away from Trump while new media users and those who rely on social media are joining his coalition."

Zogby explains that his findings reflect "a generational shift in the country — voters under 45 are much less trusting of traditional information sources and have gravitated towards two- to three-hourlong free-form podcasts and social media during which satirical memes that challenge the national network and print narratives are commonplace.

"When it comes down to it, this is arguably the real divide," he says.
